== Personal interests and activities == Wolfram has a log of personal analytics, including emails received and sent, keystrokes made, meetings and events attended, recordings of phone calls, and even physical movement dating back to the 1980s. In the preface of ''A New Kind of Science'', he noted that he recorded over 100 million keystrokes and 100 mouse miles. He has said that personal analytics "can give us a whole new dimension to experiencing our lives."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/2012/03/opinion-wolfram-life-analytics/|title=The Personal Analytics of My Life|magazine=Wired|first=Stephen|last=Wolfram|date=8 March 2012|access-date=2016-10-18}}</ref> Wolfram was a scientific consultant for the 2016 film ''[[Arrival (film)|Arrival]]''. He and his son Christopher Wolfram wrote some of the code featured on screen, such as the code in graphics depicting an analysis of the alien logograms, for which they used the [[Wolfram Language]].<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/2016/11/arrivals-designers-crafted-mesmerizing-alien-alphabet/ |title=How Arrival's Designers Crafted a Mesmerizing Language |first=Margaret |last=Rhodes |magazine=Wired |date=16 November 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2016/11/14/dissecting-the-alien-language-in-arrival/|title=Dissecting the alien language in 'Arrival' |first=Timothy J. |last=Seppala |website=Engadget|date=15 November 2016 |access-date=2016-11-16}}</ref>
